Wayne, I don't think the problem is that we're against paying . The problem is that the cost is borne on the backs of the very people that cause the event to happen. Goodguy shows have the attendees pay, not the vehicle exhibitors. The real reason that car guys are charged is that the show promoters want to guanantee that the cost of Porta potties, security etc. are covered so by charging the registrants they're covered rain or shine. Thats going to be a problem if guys like you did not show up in sufficient numbers during a rainey event. BTW how about a case of oil instead of a dust collector trophy. Something a guy can really use.
